I remember when I was a kid everytime my grandmother decides to make tupig in Christmas. The most tiresome part in the preparation is digging a hole in the ground where we are going to cook tupig.
But its rewarding anyway, when we starts eating those delicious tupigs and sometimes gave tupigs to the carolers.
